Sorry, log_checkpoints isn't supported till 8.3

As tempting as it is to decrease checkpoint_segments, better confirm it is a
checkpoint related problem before fiddling with these settings.

I recommend reading Greg Smith's post on checkpoints & bg writer. It's about
8.3 improvements but it includes good advice on how to diagnose checkpoint
issues on prior versions:
http://www.westnet.com/~gsmith/content/postgresql/chkp-bgw-83.htm

In fact, one of his recomendations should be very helpful here: set
checkpoint_warning=3600 and log_min_duration_statement=1000, that way you
should see in the log if statements over 1 sec occur simultaneously with
checkpoints being reached.

Pay attention to the chapter on the bg_writer too.

Regards,
Fernando.
